Is there any way to get this to work with HotS at the moment, or can we just use it default? Thanks for this as always, been a personal favorite of mine ever since it came out!

Hmm I like the look with the bit more lighting but still simple shadows, but it is totally unplayable for me. When logging into starcraft the authenticating screen hangs for like 10 seconds, and ingame I get random drops to 10fps, that doesnt even happen when I put everything at high, so it seems to cause some strange performance issues. Clearing the programdata didnt help either.

Staying with high textures and models and just everything else on low.

So I got home last night, applied these settings, cleared the ProgramData directory, etc., etc. now anytime I try and enter a game (whether it be a ladder game, preloader, custom map, etc.) the game sits at the loading screen, all players bars show as loaded, including my own and it just sits, only way to escape the loading screen is to kill the process. I am with Hylirion on this one, have to go back to high textures & models and everything else medium to low or high... I can play the entire game on high settings with no issues but meh...

When I apply these settings the units and buildings look normal, but the map is completely white. And i can see the entire map and theres no fog, its a blinding extremely bright white color. The only way to make it go away is to reset my game graphics through the options.

Any way to fix this? I really want to use these settings.

White terrain and landscape textures? Check alternatelowtextures and pixellight parameters. If both are 1 - change one of them to 0

Can't help much. SC2 already unstable on some PC machines with standart graphic settings. And using a bit varied is an untested area. For someone it works, for others - maybe not. Just test it with yourself, turn back some parameters, try to skip some steps and get settings that better fits to your and your PC configuration.

Everything is free to edit, just open in Notepad and edit it. Try to experiment with it, if something does not work, then change back and continue test!

Hybridic Settings are just a basic preset of some adjusted parameters, that correctly works for me and for many others. If you have problems here, try to edit hybridic settings, by turning on/off some parameters.

First, I want to say, the there are no huge difference between Medium and High textures.
Second, just try to use Preloader map and also edit some parameters.

Hybridic Settings are using alternate low textures, they require less memory usage, thats why I think its better to use them.

Do these settings really help that much..? Will have to try them out when I get home today..

Those settings just give you another layer of graphical settings, that is between Low and Medium. It's not oriented to high FPS boost, but it's just a Low settings with some Medium adjustments.

Is there any way to get this to work with HotS at the moment, or can we just use it default? Thanks for this as always, been a personal favorite of mine ever since it came out!

Just use StarCraft II Beta folder. Everything is same.

Same here. Tried changing the values but it seems that something in patch 1.5.3 dislikes these custom settings .

I'm having the same problem here and I've tried resolving this with the suggestion from 1 to 0 in variables.txt file but nothing has changed

Edit: I reset my graphics in options but now I'm running on extreme but with the bright light still in place of it's normal appearance. I don't know how to get rid of this brightness.

remove all the variables.txt files in documents/sc2 folder before resetting in game settings, then you will get rid of brightness but also of the hybridic settings :/

This helped! I don't mind that the hybridic settings are gone since I can switch values around again to my liking; I'm just glad the brightness is gone. Thank you!

Edit: I might be wrong here but it looks like "alternateLowTextures=1" is the cause of the double lighting. Even if I have don't have "spec" to "spec=0", the double lighting still occurs. Is there anyway I can make "alternateLowTextures=1" work?

Ok i get rid of the brightness but I am already missing the hybrid settings Also i noticed massive fps drop. I am playing on basic low settings right now and my fps doesnt go over 100fps. Between patch on hybrid settings i had constantly around 135-150 fps. Screw this...
